2007 Chrysler Sebring

ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, TURNED THE KEY TO CRANK MOTOR AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START BUT CONTINUED TO CRANK. EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED CRANKING, I ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN THEN IT STARTED. BEGAN DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE AIR BAGS LIGHT STARTED GOING OFF AND STAYED ON FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AROUND CORNERS THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AS WELL AS GOING DOWN SOME HILLS. *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT BACK. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH TO COME ON. WHEN I MOVE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SEAT FORWARD/BACKWARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL "SOMETIMES" GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF MY CAR IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. I'M TOLD THAT IT IS NOT. I THINK IT SHOULD BE. *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND DRIVES MY CAR, HE MOVES THE SEAT TO THE VERY BACK POSITION. WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR, I MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH TO COME ON. WHEN I MOVE THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED SEAT FORWARD/BACKWARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF. THE NHTSA REF 07V240000 REFERENCES A RECALL FOR THE FRONT SEAT TRACK POSITION SENSOR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO HAVE THE REPAIR INITIATED; HOWEVER, THEY SAID MY CAR (ALTHOUGH SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL) IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT FILED FOR THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FIRST TWO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SERVICED. SAID RECALLS WERE FOR # 1 ENGINE STALLING AND # 2 DRIVER AIRBAG UNDER SEAT SENSOR ILLUMINATING ON AND OFF ON DASH. EVEN AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED FOR THE RECALLS, I STILL HAVE ENGINE STALLING DURING STOPS AND ON DECELERATION THE VEHICLE THREATENS TO STALL. I NEED TO KEEP GIVING GAS AND ON HUMID DAYS THAT IS INDICATIVE OF POSSIBLE RAIN THE THREAT IS MORE OFTEN. THE SECOND RECALL COMPLAINT THAT I AM STILL EXPERIENCING IS THE AIR BAG ILLUMINATOR ON DASH FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE GOES ON AND OFF AND THE WIRES UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT ARE INVOLVED WHEN DRIVER SEAT MOVES FRONT OR BACK. STALLING IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS IN THIS CAR OR NEARBY CARS SHARING THE ROAD. ALSO THE AIR BAG SENSOR PROBLEM KEEPS ME IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NECESSARY OR WILL DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT THE CAR WHEN BRAKING FOR A STOP CONTINUED TO REV CAUSING ME TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK AND I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO STOP THE CAR TOTALLY.I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON WITH OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINT AND AN INQUIRY WOULD SEEM IMMINENT FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWING THE RECALLS HAVE NOT SECURED THE PROPER HANDLING OF MY VEHICLE'S SAFETY WANTS TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OR A SERVICE FEE WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THE PROPER SERVICE WAS NOT RENDERED CAUSING RECALL MALFUNCTIONS TO THIS DATE. FOR THE TWO COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT I AM INQUIRING ABOUT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP FOR SERVICE AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THE OUTCOME OF THIS COMPLAINT IN WRITING. AS FOR THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT ABREAST IF A SAFETY ISSUE IS MANDATED FOR THE REPAIR OF THAT COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND REMAINS ON MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO GOLDSTEIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE IN LATHAM NY. I WAS CHARGED $120 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIRBAG SENSOR THAT WOULD COST UPWARD OF AN ADDITIONAL $450 TO REPAIR. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ASSOCIATION FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BACK IN JUNE OF 2007. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN # IS NHTSA-07V240000. I CALLED DIAMLER CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403 TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND TO RECOVER THE $120 I PAID TO THE GOLDSTEIN DEALERSHIP FOR AN ISSUE THAT WAS COVERED IN A RECALL. DIAMLER CHRYSLER SAID THEY HAD NO RECALL FOR AN AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE 2007 SEBRING. I CALLED BACK THE NHTSA AT 1-888-327-4236 AND CONFIRMED THE RECALL WAS IN FACT ISSUED. I FILED A CASE WITH THE NHTSA, AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AT 1-877-382-4357 WHERE I ALSO FILED A REPORT. THE FTC ALSO REFERRED ME TO THE NYS CONSUMER PROTECTION BOARD. COMPLAINTS TO THEM MUST BE FILED IN WRITING. I REQUESTED A COMPLAINT FORM. I CALLED DIAMLER CHRYSLER BACK AND FILED A CASE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT BACK, WHERE I SENSED THERE WASN'T THE LEAST BIT OF SYMPATHY OR CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CHRYSLER SEBRING BRAND NEW APRIL 2007. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR (OR LESS) AND WELL UNDER 20,000 MILES THE GAS CAP LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT OFF SPORADICALLY EVEN IN THE "OFF" POSITION, GOT STUCK IN PARK, FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED (WHICH WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING), AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, ETC. HAD ALL THESE PROBLEMS FIXED ONLY TO HAVE MANY OF THEM RECUR. THEY WERE ALL FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW AFTER 36,000 MILES AND NO WARRANTY, THE PROBLEMS I HAVE NOW ARE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL WON'T GO OFF, MY ELECTRIC WINDOWS SOMETIMES WON'T WORK AT ALL (DRIVER'S SIDE SPECIFICALLY), AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF BUT OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVER'S SEAT IS MOVED BACKWARD AND FORWARD BUT ALWAYS RETURNS, CAR WILL STALL AT TIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING OFF AGAIN, TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN MY TOWN...THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED. ALL THE RECALLS I READ ABOUT THAT APPEAR TO PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE, CHRYSLER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL (EVEN THOUGH IT'S HAPPENING TO MY CAR TOO)! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE FOR MYSELF, OR ANYONE IN MY FAMILY AGAIN! PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR STARTED EARLY AND NEVER WENT AWAY. *TR

I WAS S/B ON I-75 IN KENTUCKY AT APPROXIMATELY THE 56 MP WHEN I FELL ASLEEP. THE FRONT END STRUCK THE END OF A GUARD RAIL AND THEN THE CAR SWUNG AROUND, SLID SIDEWAYS, AND ROLLED OVER STOPPING ON IT'S LEFT SIDE. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAD BOTH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. THE KENTUCKY STATE POLICE, POST 11, TOOK THE REPORT AND THE MOUNT VERNON, KY FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT US OUT. NO WAS INJURED THANKS TO SEAT BELTS BUT THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY WHEN THEY USED THE 'JAWS' TO CUT THE SIDE POSTS BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EITHER. *TR
